Bones of Texas

View the work of photography duo Morgan Page and Dustin Rice as they traveled thousands of miles around Texas

Opening Reception: Thursday, July 7 from 6-8pm
Exhibit: July 7-23
Gallery Hours: Tuesdays and Saturdays 10am-2pm; Fridays 12-6pm

In the tradition of Modernist photographers Edward Weston, Minor White, and Margaret Bourke-White, photography duo Morgan Page and Dustin Rice have traveled thousands of miles around Texas to capture the natural textures and patterns in Texas’ landscape, as well as the stark contrast in the dilapidation that these things left behind give to it.

Each photograph in the exhibition will be accompanied by placards that weave stories of personal emotion and forgotten presence and absence in and around the remaining architecture.

This program is made possible in part by a grant from Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
